Organizational and scalable IT changes | #BMCDay
by Gabriel Pesek | Dec 22, 2015
At BMC Day Boston 2015, attending companies and their representatives found opportunities to engage with each other on the topics of data and enterprise management, along with related issues, both amongst themselves and with BMC Software, Inc.’s eager engagement. Herb VanHook, deputy CTO of BMC, sat down with hosts Stu Miniman and Brian Gracely, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, to discuss organizational and scalable IT changes.
BMC stays current
One of VanHook’s early points of discussion was on the shake-ups BMC had undergone in the past few years. He continued on to the image and acquisitions changes, stating, “We’ve really altered our portfolio process and altered our portfolio emphasis in terms of what we’re going after. … We’ve completely remade the brand, remade the marketing message, from the top down.”
Moving on to the infrastructural updates, VanHook laid out BMC’s current organizational policies for its focuses. “We organized internally around five different basic innovation pillars, innovation areas,” he said. “And we measure those five different teams on how well they execute on their innovation agenda, on their particular strategy agendas. And I’ve seen things happen in the last couple of years that I would have never seen before at BMC.”
Access and acceleration
Looking out to other companies, particularly those that are making an effort to integrate technology more deeply into their business, VanHook saw a number of difficult challenges for them. Among the items discussed were the drastic differences in scale and the number of apps going up from companies such as Netflix, Inc. to those like FedEx Corp., as well as the differences between “pure” DevOps, such as Amazon and Facebook, and “enterprise” DevOps to which customers have ready access.
But perhaps the biggest item discussed was the size of the gap between the number of certified security professionals who are graduating in the U.S. and those that are needed and being hired by companies. Citing a statistic of approximately 10,000 U.S. security specialists graduating last year, and roughly four times that number being hired in the same space of time, VanHook made clear the need to improve accessibility and development of more programs to meet these needs.
